Story

Humanity's Golden Age

Everything changed with the arrival of the Traveler. Long ago, it breathed new life into the solar system. Rain washed over Mars. Fresh air cleansed the skies over Venus. Soon after, humanity raced into the black and colonized these newly remade worlds. It was a time of miracles, a great Golden Age.

Hope in the Darkness

It did not last. The Traveler had an ancient enemy. A powerful darkness eventually found Earth and nearly destroyed humanity. No one knows exactly what happened in those final moments, but humanity survived, thanks to the Traveler.

Humanity Rises Again

In humanity's darkest days, Humans, Exos, and Awoken found the Traveler where it made its last stand, low above Earth, silent and immobile. Humanity built the City, their last, within its protective veil while fighting countless wars to keep its peace. From that dark age, Guardians were born.

The New Frontier

A new era has begun and the only hope for humanity's future lies in unlocking the greatest mysteries of humanity's past. Playing as a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth, you'll be able to wield some of the Traveler's incredible power. Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks have finally returned to the long lost worlds, only to find out that humanity is not alone. Defend the last safe City of Earth. Defeat humanity's enemies. Explore the ancient ruins of the solar system. Discover all of what humanity lost. Become legend.

Guardians (Playable Classes)

Titan

The first Titans built the Wall and gave their lives to defend it. As a Titan, you stand in the same place as your predecessors. Your enemies may be deadly and merciless, but so are you. You hail from a line of legendary heroes and your strength and skill will be needed to shatter their ranks.

Warlock

Warlocks have long studied the Traveler, mastering some of its arcane energies. Its true purpose still remains a great mystery, but discovering truth has always driven you into the unknown. Now, your enemies stand between you and your greatest discovery, the secrets of the Golden Age.

Hunter

Hunters once prowled the wilderness and wastelands, taking big risks for even bigger rewards. As a Hunter, making your own luck has always meant bending the rules. But you are no outlaw, at least, not anymore, and your unique brand of daring and ingenuity will be needed now more than ever.

Destinations

Earth

After the Darkness swept over humanity, the Traveler made its last stand to save Earth. Beneath, humanity built the last City within its protective aura. From here, Guardians stand watch, defend humanity's civilization, and strike out into the wild frontiers of Earth and beyond to reclaim their lost worlds.

Moon

Like Earth, the ruins of humanity's former glory can be found scattered across the familiar lunar surface. Recent exploration attempts have been repulsed, reporting increased enemy activity, and even strange tectonic phenomenon. The City has since classified the Moon as a "Forbidden Zone," open only to the most brave and experienced Guardians.

Venus

Venus was once the site of great discovery, a paradise. Now, it is a monument to all that humanity has lost. The old stories say humanity built an academy dedicated to learning and research on the shore of a sea, and that the waters themselves boiled and rose up to shatter the coast, washing away all that has been built.

Mars

Little is known about Mars. Humanity built a massive metropolis in the red dust. The Darkness swept nearly all of it away and the sand claimed the rest. No one knows what remains of humanity's lost age, now buried beneath the dunes.

Enemy Types

Fallen

Fallen are hardy creatures who can survive in a wide range of environments without heavy armor or complex modifications to their physiology. They travel light, hit hard, and are gone before you know it. Fallen may look like mere scavengers, but on closer inspection, you will see hints of a sophisticated past, and the proud markings of their ancestral "Houses."

Hive

Hive manipulate the physical world. The Hive have carved a kingdom deep into the lifeless core of the Moon. Silent and buried, the Hive serves as a reminder of the tremendous power that brought forth the Collapse.

Vex

Scattered reports indicate that the Vex appear to be mass-produced machine units, constructed of an unknown metal alloy resembling hammered brass. All attempts to communicate with them have failed. They are hostile. They are unrelenting. They are deadly.

Cabal

Few Guardians have faced Cabal and lived to tell the tale. They are a professional military operation. On every front, humanity has found them on the march. They have already dug in and ringed their installations with razor wire. Now, it seems they've turned their eyes towards humanity.
